lol. That's barely $100. A US special force guy during the Afganistan war in the early 2000's received above $1000 as operational allowance.

Lol you see 45k you no happy...

harpheyz:
Let me just ask this question, Although I have applied a number of times I've never made it to the screening. The problem is I snore a lot and i don't know if this will affect me in screening, it's really worrying me.

Lol bro nothing consign army with your snoring super power lmao..na just your bunkies go dey vex for you.. it won’t affect you at all

It’ll work in our favor this time around.

Sept 13, 2020.

16 days to the deadline.

Thats how we rolllll

I’m awake... thinking about life in academy... SSC is bae

explosiveskull:
I just did ooo but is there a way they flag people's name and facebook account and choose ones not to respond to.

what I think they do is when they reply a message and the person that’s supposed to reply u doesn’t... nobody replies Cos the message on their screen is already opened.. so they think you’ve been replied and nobody attends to you anymore... Cos why else will they always reply new accounts and not reply old accounts... they don’t reply me again.

explosiveskull:
i don send army message tire dem no wan reply me or en get as una take dey do'am

lol message them with another account bro.. another Facebook account

Kaeboy:
Please, try ask your brother why he doesn't want you as SSC in the army but prefer DSSC and pls you sharing his response with us will be appreciated. Thanks

what do you need his brothers answer for? Is your mind shaking? Nothing should move you if you know what you want man! Or you just want to know?

I found this.. it should motivate someone... anti plant go sweet to use for here

Mind is made up... mind is made up.. mind is made up..

Ramirezsarki:
God wey dy for heaven know say from day 1 nah Ssc dy my mind, irrespective of the risks involved.... My mind is made up, only God sure plan for me fit move me to another path, cos last last nah him way sure pass, no wonder Proverbs 19 vs 21 talk say Many plans dy for person mind, but nah baba God purpose for that person nah him go stand last last.

facts bro facts...

Toh we will all meet there... hopefully we will all survive it there and continue to enjoy the job as we grow older and wiser..

sbashir10:
I cannot be in the military and allow you to apply SSC, it is foolishness on my part if I allowed you to join. I am clearly not in support of you joining, if it's DSSC you have my support, but certainly not SSC.

I've been depressed lately, this statement was my immediate elder brother's statement on me joining SSC, he's a member of 58rc, and currently serving in naval wing in NDA.

Reason why I am putting this out is because, I actually needed advice, as I've already given out my application numbers to couples of his contemporaries and other people like that.

Should I apply for DSSC again or I should just allow the wish of God to take place.


Pls I need advice.

mhen!!! Nobody can give you the advice you want bro... I think it’s left to you. But your brother is a force to reckon for you.. I think you should talk to him about your dream and passion.. my cousin that we both got 62rc together has told me he would disassociate himself with me if I go for army ssc.. but na me know wetin I dey find.. it might end up badly for me and I might overcome.. but atleast I’ll know I did what made me happy

spetsnaz:
Fact.
On paper they're not supposed to, but what is on ground is totally different from what's in the books. DSSC officers in Engineering, AME and Signal Corps are usually the "Unlucky" guys that find themselves leading men for operations.
It is not uncommon, infact it's the norm in the northeast there many ungoverned spaces and the army is highly understaffed especially in the officer cadre. As far as this job is concerned only female officers will ever know peace that doesn't still exempt them from being posted to the north east but they will never be drafted to the fronts, they are always in a fortified base and even at that when there is any signal concerning an impeding attack female officers will be evacuated or airlifted while the men will stay and fight. This has being the standard ever since bokoharam captured some female soldiers years ago. Whether DSSC or SSC you are a combatant as far as army is concerned they don't even care if you are a Chaplain or Imam. Who no come no go understand.

kai... naso dem go take airlift them leave us
Thanks for the insight

damibjs:
General Adeosun vs General Otiki.... Na so it take dey start oo

As far as i kno... Dssc command troops also in NE....but its not common. All the best

i like the “it’s not common” part...

Blueelf:
But I go still be your senior sha



So far you can't instruct me, I'm good...we are like the big bosses behind the scenes

lol is good that you think I can’t outrank you later lmao..

Blueelf:
How sure are you about this?

So, you can't instruct a sergeant on what to do (for example)?

Are you really sure?

instruct a Sargent to do what in this context? Into senority level you can instruct him to do various things... but at the frontlines, you’d most likely not hold any command position.. keyword.. *most likely not*

Joedominic723:
I guess I was already late to the party....just saw it now, the advert has closed since AUG 29.Tanx tho

oga the advert closes 29th of September not August

Joedominic723:
please oo FAM, I am yet to receive verification mail since yesterday that I signed up on the portal. any idea how to go about it?

ohhhhh my days!!!!!! Send them a message on Facebook... read the last 2 pages of this thread and you’ll be answered properly.. but if you don’t want to, message them on Facebook to complain and you’d be attended to

Judah95:
any idea of what really makes "Special Forces" special? Is it just more or advanced training for them like what the TV series I watched titled SEAL TEAM, a special force unit that undergo, intellect, mental and physical exercise including ability to withstand torture before you join them.

Abeg, what really makes Nigeria Army Special Forces unique. I just wanna learn.

na Ugo get this question..

Lami1996:
I went to the ministry of education in Abuja and I got it. I paid some money she. In weeks time,you should be able to get it if you can but since they said they will send list of accredited schools,no need to get it then

we all went with out letters of accreditation but they didn’t even ask for it... they will verify personally if the schools are accredited..

Lol people wey wan go special forces make dem go jare... it’s not for me..

Parisleo:
Military job used to be very interesting in the past..but the present Nigeria we are in is something else..no body is trusted, there have been cases of whistle blowers every where...I have an uncle that almost died in battle...he said the most confusing thing is that the boko Haram rare usually ahead of them...they send this poor army guys to the battle and inform the enemies that they are coming...some of the officers are really bittered...I laugh at some guys thinking that been in dssc gives u an advantage...if the enemies attack ur mini camp base, omo u go carry gun to protect ur self, especially if they post u to far north east

Nigeria is not a country worth serving and dying for... experience is the best teacher indeed..it's best experienced though
I laugh at that brother that said army is one brotherhood... Na from camp una go dey see nepotism and the rest, they will keep on reposting u to a far north east, especially if u are not from thier tribe and don't have.a God father...they will frustrate u, take away ur joy, some times u will wish to just die self
Those generals that will still try to cajole you to take ur mind off the passion knows what they are doing
Pity ur mama and wife if u get and look for another direction in.life

Insults to my post are allowed pls

nobody go insult you sha but let everybody make decisions they want to abeg... they’ve chosen what they want.. you can pass a message without making it sound like it’s hell Thats waiting for them outside... there’s a lot of tribalistic sentiment to your post and it’s not acceptable here

SFCommander2:
Hmm... Gbogbo first class... Una too much.

I believe if your course is very relevant and you're able to defend your first class (like sikowitz17 already said), that may give you an edge.

But pray you scale through to the interview stage first, where you get to face the board.

board go enter am with him first class ehn

Fifthwave:
Good evening soon to be cadets.

I've been following the thread quietly, thank you for keeping us posted. And yet I have a small question. Please, don't misunderstand my question.

What do you guys think of the attitude of the selection board towards first class graduates who make it to the board interview. Do they by any chance factor that? And does it increase your chance even by the smallest margin? I need candid reply, just say it as it is.

Actually you carry first class there, you must defend it... they will hit you with questions from every corner to test you! You must be firm.. for I doubt if it has any additional thingy to it..

Kaeboy:


how is commander selected? By rank or corp.

lol first thing... as dssc you don’t have operational command over Troops in the theaters of command so dead the matter.... you fit follow us carry gun for maiduguri but you go dey back of gun truck dey hide

SFCommander2:
Is that sf training compulsory or optional? Also, shey na NA go choose unit for guys, or are they at liberty to choose individually?

i think they carry all cadets to jaji after training for sf selection.. that’s where officers deliberately fail the exercises lol.. that’s the plan.. if you over show gallantry, you are on your own..

After completion of training, you’ll be asked to choose some preferred corps of your choice but army reserves the right to post you anywhere... when you get to your Corp headquarters, you’ll fall into a unit from there.

Kaeboy:
We settle it once and for all. At the end everybody na combatant. Just that some get 2 stars on Commissioning while other get 1.

lol in your mind you think you will be combatant like me? And issue me command in the theater? You are a joker

Blueelf:


Again I ask. Sikowitz, na you dey talk like this?

lol bro Na me... time don reach make we talk truth.. no be cruise we again...

The fact that there’s minimum peace in the army.. adding sf duties to it will be too much for me oooo! This is my own personal view for myself.. I want to be able to do my job and do it well without been confined to extra responsibilities that comes with being special forces... but my guys wey get gas... the lord be with you.

ugo4u:
Army made it clear that all Rri guys upon completion of training will be sent for Special forces training from their they be inducted into the theatre of operations in the northeast. This is to tell you what SSC should expect. Anybody wey because of SF badge go join them make him ready to go northeast straight after SF training at Jaji. You won't know peace.

biko I want peace... make sf go sidown
